For largemouth bass anglers in Walker, Michigan, the Grand River and its connected lakes and backwaters offer ample opportunities. What makes this area great is the diversity of structure, from submerged timber to lily pads and docks. Peak season is late spring (May-June) during the spawn, and again in the fall (September-October) when bass are actively feeding. Focus on shallow, weedy areas in the spring and move deeper as the water warms up in the summer. A local tip: try fishing the backwaters and sloughs off the main channel of the Grand River. These areas often hold less pressured fish. Use a Texas-rigged worm or a spinnerbait to cover water efficiently. The largemouth bass in this area average 2-4 pounds, but bigger bass are always a possibility. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the quality of the fishery.
